What it does
Open-source, self-hosted alternative to OpenAI Assistants API Run any LLM (Ollama, OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, etc.) with unified TypeScript: • Multi-agent swarms (7 strategies) • Tree of Thoughts reasoning • Time-travel debugging • Self-reflection & learning • Constitutional AI guardrails • Causal reasoning engine • Hybrid memory + vectors • Sandboxed execution • Cost-aware routing • MCP & OpenTelemetry •..and much more! No vendor lock-in. Pure TypeScript.
Self-hosted, production-grade AI agent orchestration platform. Multi-model support (Ollama, OpenAI, Anthropic, Google), workflows, swarms, memory/RAG, sandboxed code execution, and MCP protocol.
Run Ollama, vLLM, OpenAI, Anthropic, or Google models with identical code. Switch providers without changing a line. Build complex agent pipelines with retry, compensation, and human-in-the-loop steps. 6 coordination strategies out of the box. Hierarchical, consensus, round-robin, and more. Redis for speed, Postgres for persistence, pgvector for semantic search. Your agents remember everything. Run untrusted code in Docker containers or WASM. Never on your host. First-class support for Model Context Protocol. Connect any MCP server as a tool. Express, Fastify, Hono, Koa — mount agents as REST APIs with SSE streaming, WebSocket, and auto-generated Swagger docs. OpenTelemetry traces,…from cogitator.app

Cognitora2025 · cognitora.dev · ▲86Built a multi-agent research system with OpenAI Agents SDK where specialized AI agents collaborate autonomously: Master Orchestrator → Data Analyst → Statistician → Report Writer Each agent has specific expertise. The orchestrator delegates tasks. All agents can execute code securely to solve problems. Example workflow: "Analyze e-commerce data" - Data Analyst: writes Python to load/clean data, spots trends - Statistician: performs significance tests, calculates growth rates - Report Writer: synthesizes findings into executive summary This demonstrates OpenAI Agents SDK's handoff system…

Cogitator – A Python Toolkit for Chain-of-Thought Prompting2025 · github.com · ▲54Hi everyone, I made an open-source Python toolkit/library, named Cogitator, to make it easier to try and use different chain-of-thought (CoT) reasoning methods. The project is at the beta stage, but it supports using models provided by OpenAI and Ollama. It includes implementations for Cot strategies and frameworks like Self-Consistency, Tree of Thoughts, and Graph of Thoughts. GitHub link of the project: https://github.com/habedi/cogitator

20+ Claude Code agents coordinating on real work (open source)Feb 2026 · github.com · ▲53Single-agent LLMs suck at long-running complex tasks. We’ve open-sourced a multi-agent orchestrator that we’ve been using to handle long-running LLM tasks. We found that single LLM agents tend to stall, loop, or generate non-compiling code, so we built a harness for agents to coordinate over shared context while work is in progress. How it works: 1. Orchestrator agent that manages task decomposition 2. Sub-agents for parallel work 3. Subscriptions to task state and progress 4. Real-time sharing of intermediate discoveries between agents We tested this on a Putnam-level math problem, but the…
Co-OpJan 2026 · co-op.software · ▲30AI is in a weird place right now. Technical people marvel over it while non-technical people don't really care. So we built Co-Op, an app specifically designed for non-technical people to run AI agents without needing a Mac Mini or laptop running 24/7. Your agents run throughout the day and complete real work across your most important apps, no code required. For me, this looks like a daily notification with my unread emails across Outlook, Gmail, and any other inbox, the weather, commute time, flight prices I'm monitoring, and the news. But it goes way beyond that. Our agents can build…

Hey HN! I wanted to share something I built over the last few weeks: isometric.nyc is a massive isometric pixel art map of NYC, built with nano banana and coding agents. I didn't write a single line of code. Of course no-code doesn't mean no-engineering. This project took a lot more manual labor than I'd hoped! I wrote a deep dive on the workflow and some thoughts about the future of AI coding and creativity: http://cannoneyed.com/projects/isometric-nyc
